If you like good guy geek heroes who look hot in kilts, strong,
intelligent heroines, and poignant romance, then you’ll love Almost Elinor,
the second book in Gina Robinson’s light, fun contemporary romance Jet City
Kilt Series.

As a cyber war threatens cosplayer, geek, app designer, and cyber security
expert Austin MacDougall's career, his chances of winning Dr. Blair Edwards'
heart just got a whole lot slimmer. His nemesis has stepped up his plot to ruin
Austin and take him out of the spotlight as the charming, cosplay version of
Jamie, the Highlander TV heartthrob.

Half American, half English physician Blair Edwards has problems of her
own. Her English ex-boyfriend wants her back and will stop at nothing to
reclaim her heart and separate her from Austin.

When things get tough, what does every good Highlander do? Take his
English lass to a good old-fashioned Scottish gathering in the suburbs of
Seattle, of course. But this gathering presents another set of problems…

I put my
hand on his arm. "I'm serious, Austin. You gave me an opening the day we
met, a shot at something between us. I shut you down then, afraid it was too
soon.

"When
our eyes met at the party, I realized my mistake. Maybe I didn't have all the
time left I thought I did. Maybe I didn't have any at all. And if that were the
case, what would I regret?" My pulse raced almost as frantically as it had
at the party. "When I looked in your eyes, I was almost knocked off my
feet with the connection between us. I can't explain it. But there's something between us."

He didn't
say anything for a moment, just stared into his glass, head down, ignoring his
phone. I couldn't read his face or his thoughts. I supposed I deserved that.
It's amazing the scenarios the mind can run through in the breadth of seconds.
I braced myself for rejection. Well, it was my turn, wasn't it?

Finally, he
finished his drink, set it next to him, and leaned forward with his elbows on
his thighs. He looked over at me. "You felt it, too? I thought you
did." He grinned, sweetly tentative. "What are you thinking?"

I put my
hand on his knee. "I think we deserve to explore it."

"I
thought that's what we're doing." His voice was soft with emotion. "I
thought that's the game we were playing."

I felt
convicted. I hadn't meant to lead him on. Had he seen through me? Had he
realized before I did that on the surface we were pretending for the public,
but beneath it, the relationship was real.

"I
don't want to play games, anymore." I held his gaze.

"So
you're saying?"

"We
make this real." I felt the urgency to get the words out before I lost my
nerve. "That we do more than pretend. We date for real. And…see what happens."
My mouth went dry. I wished I hadn't polished off my drink so cavalierly.
